the people say good morning like they're used to me,
they wave when they see me in the hall.
but i know that as soon as they get close to me,
they'll wish that they never had at all.

awkward questions, awkward stares
told that i'm putting on airs
written out of all the prayers
i don't fit into the squares

thirteen chimes
out of time
hint of lime
twisted rhyme
last of nine

i didn’t know what to think
i didn’t know what to do
but what i did know
was that you were see-through.

save your fuel and energy
go down without a fight
sleight of hand won’t win me over
but pretty lies just might

she is fire
loud, raging, shouts
indignant flames of fury
she is ice
sarcastic, cold, rolled eyes, raised eyebrows
scornful jabs deeper than knives.
she is stone
silent, hidden tears, jaw set, hard eyes
infuriating, feigned indifference.
she is angry.

that isn’t what i meant to say
that isn’t what i’d do,
but what i really should’ve,
i haven’t but a clue.

bye,
i love you,
see you on the other side
i'm done trying to hide
what you didn't see, and i denied
i guess at least i can say i tried
to make sure that when i died
you'd be one of them that cried.
bye,
i love you,
see you on the other side
i was too afraid to confide
when i decided i should just die
i guess i always had too much pride
i hope now you're satisfied
now i've committed suicide.
bye,
i still love you,
see you on the other side.

you say you're broken
you say you’re a monster
you say you don’t deserve love
but
what you don’t see
is the beauty in you
yes,
you may be broken
but
it doesn’t make you any less of a person
it doesn’t make you any less beautiful

you didn't hear me
when i told you
to be fair
you didn't hear me
when i told you
i was scared
you didn't hear me
when i told you
you don't own me
but you heard me
when i told you
not to care.

there wasn't any reason
you had to say goodbye
except to get away from me
yet, you felt the need to lie
you had nowhere else to be
you had nowhere else to go
but you got away from me
you should've yesterday ago

you're sitting on the bathroom floor
head in your arms
tears dripping off your face
and i don't know what to do
i reach out
smile
touch your arm
you look up
smiling just a little
eyes wet
"hey," i say. "you okay?"
your arm comes up
swipes across your face
"y-yeah."
and you're getting up
holding on to me for support
not crying anymore
and i don't know what to do
do i say something?
comfort you?
just smile?
i settle for
taking you in my arms
and holding you there
with me
till the end of time
